Pre-Feudal Scots 843/846 AD - 1124 AD (III/45)

Proposal:

Change start date from 846 to 843.

• Justification:**

The proposed change in the Scots-Irish end date from 846 to 842 leaves the Dalriada Scots listless in the interim.

Fortunately, the date of Kenneth McAlpin's accession to the Pictish throne is not precisely known, and several studies support a date of 842 (Benjamin Hudson in Irish Sea Studies 900AD-1200AD (2006) p.200) or 843 (F J Byrne in Irish Kings and High Kings p.260).
